Nurse Practitioner Profiles

Nurse practitioners (NPs) work in a variety of health-care settings, including community clinics, health-care centres, NP-led clinics, doctors’ offices, nursing homes, hospitals and the homes of patients. The stories below show how they work with — rather than replace — other health-care providers. NPs are part of a team, collaborating with registered nurses, doctors, social workers and others to provide quality health care.
